Condolences to Matt and his family, Beth, and to you. May peace prevail.
So sorry to hear about Byron, Pix. Many wishes for a peaceful passing.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Beth, Matt, I'm so sorry.
Kristin, I'm sad for you guys, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Matt, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. Strength to all your family.
Pix, you did the good thing. It doesn't feel good, but it was the right thing to do.
Okay, I can't decide between PJ bottoms. These, or these?
Okay, watching Graham Norton with Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas. Smoking Spanish accents here. OMG. And Salma's outfit! Mrrowr.
I like Graham Norton more than most any talk show host, because he can make just about any group of people work entertainingly together, no matter how weird. I don't worry about if I like his guests, or if I've heard of them. I trust him.
Except last week. Robin Williams. Graham either can't or won't exercise control over that dynamic, and Robin's everywhere and I HATE HIM. He ruins the good things. Hmmph.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes! And they kept arguing like an old married couple. It was hilarious!

Oh, that reminds me -- remember over the summer or something when there were pictures of Justin Bieber with a John Waters mustache? They had been on Graham Norton together that day, and Waters always carries eyeliners around to give to people who admire his mustache. Apparently the Bieb told Waters his "'stache is the jam."

And I love Jimmy Carr. He just looks so concerned all the time, and it's always something patently ludicrous.
I never saw the GN with Bieber, but I bet I wouldn't have hated it.

Jimmy Carr teaching Banderas and Hayek how to speak with a Liverpool accent nearly made me hurt myself laughing.

plagiarism update:
I wrote a formal memo to the student and sent it off to various associate deans, department chairs and the student's advisor. I included the highlighted portions of the paper that I found as uncredited, and included references for the passages that did not appear in the reference list.
So I ended up giving her a zero on the final paper, so this puts her in the "D" range for the course. At the graduate level you need a "C" or better for the course to count towards degree.
